I agree with the post above, your post is very vague, it is like asking a mechanic to estimate the repair on your car when he hasn't seen it and you haven't told him what is wrong, we aren't mind readers even though our wives think we are sometimes.
Thank you for your reply. I am 41 years of age with a bachelor's in managerial accounting. I began my desire to have a career within the military at 39 years of age... roughly 6 months prior to my 40th birthday. My biggest obstacle was having to drop the weight and I did and have maintained it.
I started with an Army recruiter that informed me that I was able to join and that he would be able to have an age waiver approved so that I could enlist, however that was not factual and quite disappointing as there was valuable time wasted. Wasted in the aspect that I have found out over the course of time that the Navy has a cut off of 39 years of age on the enlisted side. In further looking into I learned that for the Reserves side applicants are accepted up to the age of 42 prior to commission. So, I submitted my packet for the Navy reserve as a supply officer but was not selected and told to reapply in 6 mos. if I desire. With "time" being a major factor as I am not 41 I am looking to submit my packet for an Officer on the active duty side with the Navy. I've considered the Program Affairs Officer and the INTEL officer. I also NEED to take the OAR which I have been studying for. With regards to study material I have been trying to keep my focus to math, mechanics and the reading comprehension. Study material does not seem to be as available like you see for the ASVAB.
Now, the Reserve recruiter informed me that the odds of my getting selected is more favorable on the active duty side, I did inquire about the age consideration and ne informed me that he has only seen 20 year old applicants get selected.
I'm looking for advice and guidance. Can anyone share with me IF this is true/ factual on the odds of my being selected greater on the active side as opposed to the reserves?
